Highly recommend Clapham Optical, great service and advice. I have been a customer for 40 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.

From the moment I walked in to the cool, air-conditioned premises, it was a completely different world.

I relayed my problem with office working, both close up and computer work. I also shared my previous experience with varifocal lenses, how I found them too difficult, particularly on stairs, and gave up wearing them.

Nick painstakingly surveyed my range of vision, asking many questions about my situation and how I work.

I have been using spectacles and contact lenses for many years, but my vision in my new varifocals is superb ... a life changing experience.

Terry

Excellent service...I cannot recommend them enough. They are very professional and take their time to make sure your glasses are the correct fit and style for you. Very pleased with my new glasses.

Sue

The service is fabulous for both contact lenses and spectacles. I have more regular checkups and I value this as healthy eyes and eyesight are really important to me and I find this really important especially as a contact lens wearer. As I've previously had spots on the retina I have a photo taken of my retina each time I have a checkup. The machine that does this uses the latest technology.

My old glasses were about 7 years old and as the arm was falling off I had to buy a new pair. I was hesitant about buying a new pair as I thought they would be massively expensive as I have a very high prescription for long distance vision. The glasses are really lovely and light to wear and I was very surprised at how low the cost was.

As some reviewers may note, Specsavers is cheaper, but in my view, you get what you pay for. I came to dislike the experience at Specsavers so thought I'd give the independent a try. My experience so far has been much more pleasant. The staff are wonderful, very helpful and patient. The optician was also very thorough and I felt that I had a very complete service.

The spectacles and lenses may be on the pricey side compared to Specsavers, but you can see the quality you're paying for.
